They talk about the gender ambiguity in the season, Indira’s power and influence, the quid pro quo exchanges between characters, Lars’ despicable behavior, and Lorraine’s softening and job offer to Indira. They also touch on the
Goodness, Dot has herself running any which way but loose. In this episode of Fargo, The Tiger, we love to see how hard it is to cage a tiger (of any kind). Charpie thinks this was a Lorraine episode. Bill thinks it’s a nice exposition on Dot, Lorraine, and Indira. Either way we welcome this
In a special podcast, Scouse's House hosts the Louisville Coopers, Louisville Ledgehogs and Lavender Legion supporter groups for a fun, opening week chat with Wes Charpie and Amadou Dia of Louisville City FC. Enjoy!
Well gee dang it all…we seem to have come to another end to another season of Fargo on FX. Bill and Charpie talk about their final thoughts on the season. After we eased on down the road with the Fadda and Cannon crews, where have we ended up? Was this season up your alley or
We somehow connect this episode from Stevie Wonder to The Wire to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You know, the usual stuff from us. Odis is still smiling on his way out. Bill can’t let go of Oz. Charpie is full-blown in cahoots with the duality of Raddoppiarlo. We can’t let it go. Sorry not
In this episode, The Nadir, on Fargo Talks Fargo the guys break down what’s going with nadir. Bill pronounces the word improperly but Charpie deems it nice and fancy. We share fun facts about a record in the episode from Duke Ellington. Who is at a low point? What was the actual order Odis received
This week we clear up that carrot controversy thanks to listener, Robert. Keep the insights coming we love it. What is Lay Away all about? What is being put aside? Lions, tigers and Palominos, oh my! Charpie delves into a large prediction of fan fiction. Join us as we break down episode 7 of Fargo,
Welcome to another episode of Fargo Talks Fargo and the hotdish. In this episode we see Oraetta get her groove back, Loy and Josto play angles that don’t seem to be understood by their crime family and the “word” is out about Satchel. Gaetano is aware of Josto’s play. Will more fun ensue? Charpie thinks
Bill and Charpie break down Episode 6 Camp Elegance in this episode. Fan mail and theories abound. The Wizard of OZ references will not be going on away to strap in. Ethelrida has a creepy birthday. Charpie launches his new podcast “Deafy and the Carrot” but Bill isn’t so sure. Is Oraetta a witch? Is
Happy Birthday Ethelrida! Charpie notes the quicker pace and staccato movement this episode 6 of Fargo. Camp Elegance shows the movement of the gears of war picking up pace. Odis gets a shower scene straight out of the movie Fargo. Gaetano gets bested by the ladies on the lam. Dr. Harvard gives Oraetta a stern
In an episode of speeches, Bill and Charpie lament only slightly about too much of said speechifying (it’s a word we swear). We learn about Paris of the Plains and that the guys don’t know much about boulevards. They still can’t let go of the Wizard of Oz and have some serious relations. Be sure
Just another normal week here, ya know. Fargo continues in this fourth episode of the fourth season with some spooky, spooky business. It's chilling to see what happens here so grab a pair of mittens. Bill and Charpie seem to linger on the concept of songs about drummers versus the use of youngster percussionist in war. Keep your eyes peeled as this is a double double again we think. Can't keep up? Pair, Paris, or pear either way we feel like we are twinning. Paring this all down we offer bonus points for catching our random audio references.
Great Caesar's ghost! What the heck was that creepy fella doing on the stairs at the Smutney house? Charpie reveals his bird theory around Oreatta. Bill agrees it is a solid play. Strange note: why was the guy shoveling snow that didn't need to be shoveled. Hot and fresh. Enjoy.
Get ready for some double double double action in this full breakdown of Raddoppiarlo. Bill has an epiphany about he show title but still struggles to pronounce it correctly. Charpie digs into the dark history of the Nuremberg trials. The guys also dig into some discussion again about the play of religion and extra-natural forces at work here in the Fargo universe. Bonus material is where to find a good cigarette vending machine in the late 80s, Wizard of Oz and ruby slippers.
Fresh off skipping classes in Italian, the guys attempt to pronounce the third episode’s show title, Raddoppiarlo. It doesn’t go well. Charpie brings things to the Disney universe and Bill is perplexed but agrees it is worth some more thought. Religion is afoot in many areas of the show. Plus some quick chat about food
In this episode, The Land of Taking and Killing, Bill and Charpie discuss the lion in the cage. Who is it? We meet some jail-weary travelers in Zelmare and Swanee. Ethelrida is clearly getting under Oraetta’s skin so she decides to make Ethelrida her new pet project. Here’s to hoping that it doesn’t end up
This week sure feels fuller than a fella at a lutefisk feed. Charpie and Bill dish up a little bit of action on episode 2. Somehow they end up reminiscing about Don Draper and smoking. Bill needs people to start dying so he doesn't have to keep so many names straight. All this and a shocking supper-time moment for the guys in the end. Warm it up, folks!
Well wouldn't ya know it, Noah and crew at FX and Fargo have jam-packed the episode full of history and nuance. Bill and Charpie discuss the meeting of so many characters. Also what's up with swapping kids like 80's Topps playing cards? Jeez, Bill would trade his 1950 Josto for a mind Rabbit 1950 Fargo playing card. Is Nurse Mayflower our new Lorne Malvo? Has Mayflower met her match in a quick-witted Ethelrida. Who's is the man in the street after Thurman Smutny wants to read his teenage daughter The Wizard of Oz? So many questions and so much information to keep and gather. Also, WTF is every 5 feet 10 inches about? Joplins, Herbst, and so much more. idGee dang it all, Noah. Let's go!
Oh hey there. We've been gone quite some time. It's been since 2017 to be exact. Actually, Charpie has a more exacting number to share with you all in the episode. We hope all the mechanisms still function and this thing gets to air since we've got all sorts of thinking and recollecting we'd like to do with you all again this season. Thank for coming back to us, Noah Hawley.

The competition is back at Virtual Triscuits Feild. This week Charpie and Dard take on Ran Barnaclo who is Zooming in from Cincinnati. Wow! What a fun game.
Bill and Charpie wrap up a fantastic season 3 of FX's Fargo. This aggression will not stand, man. Wrench and Nikki take action against the V.M. Varga crew at a storage facility. Emmit realizes he is not food, especially not a can of Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup that the guys can't stop talking about. Feel free to rawhide a can for us. Gloria resigns, takes back her resignation, and moves on to a higher government calling. Oh, plus Sy attends a holiday party good as new (sans cup of tea). Thanks to the cast, crew, and all involved in another entertaining season of Fargo. And thanks to all the listeners of Fargo Talks Fargo for tuning in.
Ermagerd...we can't believe this is the end of season 3. Bill and Charpie lament the ending of the hotdish. Send some hope into the world that Noah Hawley wants a season 4, will ya? We chat (briefly) about the season finale and fall into madness, cream of mushroom soup, and Charpie shows us his rap skills. Enjoy your dish. Ok then.
The guys get into a discussion about what it all means. Important stuff, like will a Blender Bottle make a decent Margarita. The answer is yes. Fargo S3, Episode 9 "Aporia" has us moving back to symmetry in cinematography with a nice does of reflection. Charpie wonders if the crime bosses should just figure out how to forge signature rather than go through all the trouble of murder. Bill wants to know what it all means. You know, like life and stuff. Is a fake grenade nepravda? This pressing question and more happen on the episode of Fargo Talks Fargo.
Bill and Charpie invent a new opening song. Things get deep when we talk about Village Inn breakfast. What does this have to do with Fargo? Nothing, but we like breakfast. Nikki shows her own brand of swagger and we talk unicorns of the sea. Get the dish while it is still hot! Pray for the Moe Dammik zamboni death.
Fargo's Episode 8 "Who Rules the Land of Denial" brings us back to the chilling Fargo we all know and love. After a bit of a slow play, episode 8 ramps up the body count and tension. In a start first half, we follow the journey of Nikki and Wrench as the attempt to escape the animal farm crew of Yuri, Meemo, and Nameless Dude. Bill believes many character have been in denial this season. Charpie seems to agree. We also find that Sy isn't a fan of bitter ball tea, and Emmit is ready to chat. All this is wrapped up in this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. F*ck it Dude, let's go bowling.
The guys break down Episode 7 "The Law of Inevitability" on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. Both Bill and Charpie go back and forth about what they think Nikki Swango is really up to. And what's up with that bear? Why is VM opening the gifts? Sy breaks down during his Mr. Rogers work to home clothing swap, but shows his heartfelt humanity during the process. Gloria and Winnie deal with idiot men (no shocker there). All this and more. Enjoy!
So many scenes and so little time on the hotdish to discuss it all. Dammik is the climate change denier of good detective work, Bill thinks that Nikki is a still a cat, and Charpie continues his deep web of conspiracy theory. Both guys are excited to see Russell Harvard on the show again. If you don't know, look him up. Hello, Mr. Wrench! Simmer down...it's a photo from season 1.
Fargo's Season 3, Episode 6 "The Lord of Mercy" take us to a few deep places we didn't expect. Bill and Charpie find themselves still talking about pravda and nepravda as VM spins tales. Meemo is a fine instrument, while Yuri is more blunt. All this and more on the full breakdown this week. Plus, fun with email subject lines in the mail grab bag. Bill starts a new metal band as well. Enjoy!
Bill and Charpie both worry a bit about Stella not noticing that it's not Emmit going it to the lady in the hooker wig. We cover the House of Special Purpose and the relation (albeit poorly) to Emperor Nicholas II of Russian and their demise at the Ipatiev House. A deep discussion about VM's bits in the mug and the origin of the liquid Sy drinks. Does Nikki have 9 lives? In the end Charpie makes an astute point about the house of special purpose and the situation the characters are in. And a quick chat about egg bakes.
The Narrow Escape Problem and Peter and the Wolf cross paths in this episode of Fargo. Charpie has a more singular view of narrow escape, while Bill applies it to many character situations. The fun of watching Ewan play a character playing a character was not lost on both guys. We dive into a strange cream soda and summer sausage chat, Burt Lurdsman is a strange name, and all sorts of other interesting musings.
Aces to the narrator of this episode of Fargo. Nice to have a blast from the season 1 past on this episode mashed up with the talk of Peter and the Wolf. The guys talk about The Narrow Escape Problem, Charpie thinks Chief Moe is the grandfather more than Sy, and Bill insists on Campbell's Soup in his hotdish recipes. Also more tampon talk and the intro of Winnie. The story pace will surely quicken after this episode.
Fresh off the airplane and rocking in a hotel lounge, Charpie joins Bill to break down episode 3 "The Law of Noncontradiction". Does this episode mean anything, does it matter, or are we all just particles floating endlessly until we collide? The guys talks about it as well as Watchamacallits, and Bill bowling and eating Pizza Patrol with Don Hertzfeld. We also connect Barraboo, Wisconsin, last season's Shakey Graves w/ Monica Martin soundtrack music, and so much more. It's a strange one folks. Settle in.
Fargo Season 3, Episode 2 "The Principle of Restricted Choices" builds on the previous episode opening the world of Fargo up even more. Charpie joins Bill via Japan this week to talk about the building storyline. The guys revel in a moment about the midwestern quality of passive aggressive conversations mirrored in Ray and Emmit's late night conversations. Irv needs more than IT help. Nikki channels her own inner Red Rum artistry. VM continues to push new business forward. Details come to light about the real world where Fargo is filmed, putting to rest the Swan theory from Charpie. Have a listen why don't ya?
Warm up the oven for some tasty hotdish. Bill is joined by another Fargo-raised host, Jerome, this week while Charpie wings his way to Japan. Jerome loves Sy's spot on accent and mannerism, Bill just wanted somebody to pee on the rug, and we learn from Nikki Swango about one way to leave a nasty notes.
Bill and Charpie dive into the world that is the first episode of season 3 of Fargo "The Law of Vacant Places". Bill can't help but continue the trend of Big Lebowski references and makes some strange prognostications (STFU Bill...er...Donny). Charpie holds down the sanity of the episode with memories of Red Owl bags. Was Ennis watching season 2 of Fargo on his tv? Was that really a Hugo award? Will Bill and Charpie ever figure out how to play Bridge? All these burning questions will be sort of answered on this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. It's time to set the scene, eh? You betcha!
Bill and Charpie are back for what will be another fantastic season of FX's Fargo and Fargo Talks Fargo. This season kicks offs with a few changes from the guys about the full show breakdowns moving to Sunday recordings and release. Both are happy to see the Fargo cast and crew off the a great start. East Berlin? AC units falling from the sky? More crime and murder? Sounds like another good time on Fargo to us. Thanks to our sponsor for this season, Fargo Brewing Company. Visit their taproom, plan a trip and get here...just do it. You won't regret it. Woodchipper IPA is the stuff. They do cool stuff by supporting our podcast.
Bill and Charpie answer post-show questions they have been receiving. They also pick the winner of the Fargo survival kit and announce a few more prizes that will be going out to six "lucky" winners. A quick 12 and a half minute show from us announce our plans for the off-season as well as possible upcoming show. Thanks again folks!
Bill and Charpie get together in Fargo to talk about their feelings and break down the show. Amidst a technical difficulty they have to go back and record a bit of the show. Sorry for the interruption in the show folks. It's another end to another great season of Fargo. Both feel pretty darn satisfied with the outcome of the final episode and wax on some topics. Gail Kitchen utters a mumble. Hanzee is a love child and a future mob boss? The Solverson crew is still a stunning family. Thanks for tuning in this season.
Bill and Charpie have a conversation with Fargo Season 2 music supervisor, Maggie Phillips and chat about the songs behind the stunning season and how she came to be a music supervisor. Things get even more interesting when Maggie has Jeff Russo, Fargo's composer, join in the conversation. Settle into your seats. This one is a doozy. Two hours of Fargo nerdy music and fun. A big thank you to both Maggie and Jeff for taking time to chat.
Bill and Charpie talk about all the big payoff that come due in Season 2 Episode 9 "The Castle" of FX's hit, Fargo. The massacre comes to fruition in this episode. Bill feels the UFO was a long time coming and the hints were all there in the first 2-3 minutes of episode. Charpie dissects a bit of Kafka. Both enjoy the way Hank is played this season. Hanzee drops a stunner on Floyd. Both guys felt it was the shocking part of this hour of Fargo.
Ermahgerd! Martin Freeman narrates this episode which was ba-na-nas! Bill and Charpie are almost at a loss for what to talk about. Betsy takes a fall. Lou is run out of the town. Hanzee plays a serous hand and gets shabby. You can't take Bear down easily. Ben Shit (no typo) makes a reference to Rapid City. Ed and Peggy are up to tricks. Hank we love you. Oh...and a UFO. No big deal. All this and more in Season 2, Episode 9 "The Castle." Go read your Kafka kids.
Charpie feels this has been the masterpiece so far this season. Bill isn't sure yet, but loved the episode a bunch. In Episode 8 "Loplop", we find out a lot about Peggy's state of mind as the show opens. Dodd turns out to have a bit of comedic if not dark comedy chops in true Coen-form. The props, sets, lighting, photography, and just plain everything in this episode is wonderful. Please go back and watch how wonderfully crafted this episode is to watch. This one was a fun to watch.
Full recap of Episode 7 “Did You Do This? No, You Did” finds Bill and Charpie actually recording in the same rom together. Simone still has herself in a bad spot. Are her troubles over at the hand of Bear? Floyd seems to be setting some sort of trap or plan in motion with unbeknownst
Remind us to never get the windows washed in Fargo. This quick recap/reaction has Charpie in town with Bill to chat. Simone is an angel in white but has she met the undertaker. Bill thinks Karl could also be the the sausage king of Chicago. All this and more on this episode of the hotdish. Also keep an eye out for real Fargo buildings in this episode. WTF is Hank doing in his study?
Season 2, Episode 6 “Rhinoceros” is a tense one at times. Bill and Charpie give their quick reactions on this episode of the hotdish. Turns out Ed isn’t the only one who can’t sit in Peg’s chairs. Dodd and Bear have a go until Floyd brings order. Stand-offs and guns blaze. Ed is a the
This week we break down the each of the "wars" that Charpie sees happening in "Fear and Trembling" on FX's Fargo. Lou is a bit lost about how to be around Betsy, Dodd reveals his possible protege, and Floyd makes her counter offer. Dodd, Simon, and Peggy all seem to be throwing a wrench in the gears as thing build to a head. Hanzee is on the hunt and encounters Karl and Mad Dog. All this and an unexpected thumb on Fargo Talks Fargo.
The full recap of Episode 3 "The Myth of Sisyphus" has Bill and Charpie talking more about colors each character wears. The color grading in this season is a on point for Bill. There is stark contrast between the Gerhardt meeting and the Kansas City crew meeting. Holy Schmidt! Ben Schmidt is a character from Season 1? Betsy continues to do on heck of a job for both Lou and now Hank at the beauty parlor. Peggy hears this and we find that crashing a car on ice is harder than you think. Jerry...ahem...Skip is buried before his typewriter dreams can take hold. It was definitely high noon on Fargo this week.
The guys give their quick reactions to this episode of FX's Fargo, Episode 3 "The Myth of Sisyphus." Bill digs the Jeff Russo choice of Yamasuki's "Yama Yama." Both guys are feeling a really strong German Nazi-type vibe from the Gerhardt family compound. Bill talks about the colors schemes in the film and Charpie backs it up with some more thought. Visitors, divinity, and much more on this helping of the hotdish.
Bill and Charpie recap Episode 2 "Before the Law." Joining the Fargo Talks Fargo crew this week is Joe Riley from grillingaddiction.com. A longer episode garners a longer recap so settle in for insights into Kafka's "Before the Law", Bill's continued theory on the color of clothing, and our great appreciation for the tension created with Mike and Hank on a lonely Minnesota road. We all seem to agree that Mike Milligan is going to be a fantastic character to watch this season if he avoids the meat grinder.
Bill and Charpie give their quick take hot outta the oven. The nods to other Coen brother's movies continues in Episode 2 "Before the Law." Bill also notes plenty of orange and foreshadowing back to season 1 with Lester, his orange jacket, and the fish poster. Charpie is happy to see the shoe is still in play. It was a kill-free story tonight in Fargo. Does this mean a kindler, gentler Fargo? Ya know...we don't think so. Last season had a duo of henchmen including one that was deaf, this year we get two or three from the KC crew that seem to be mute so far. Season 3...blind? Well, ok then. Either way this episode was finger-lickin' good.
John Lamb, from The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, joins Bill and Charpie to talk about the season 2 premiere. The guys recap all that they can about the cast of characters revealed in S02E01 "Waiting for Dutch." Plenty of Coen-esque humor and gentle nods to previous work happens. Bill gets a bit to wrapped up in the number six while Charpie finds out that Cusaks sound alike. UFOs and such, oh jeez! We all agree there will be much more to come from Peggy.
Welcome back to a new season of FX's Fargo and another season of Fargo Talks Fargo podcast. In a preseason show, Bill and Charpie chat about the upcoming season's cast and trailer. Both guys are excited about the new season. Bill tells of his soft spot for Brad Garrett and Charpie makes an early call for Miller's Crossing references.
Chris Charpentier, previous guest on the show, is moving the California. Here is a re-release of his episode which is certainly one of the best! He has always been a kind guy, who can jab you as fast as he can compliment you. Cory and Charpie spent Cory's first couple weeks in Denver watching their Boston Red Sox win a World Series on TVs all across Denver, which was a cool thing to do with another pre-2004 Sox fan. Wish Charpie well in LA and be sure he has an open invitation to be on this podcast whenever he'd like. Youi're the best, Daddy!
One of Denver's best comics Chris Charpentier joins Cory for a walk down Cherry Creek Trail, which happens to lead to a place he spends much of his time, downtown Comedy Works. Chris grew in to a man riding his bike down that trail and reminisces his life in the Denver area. From growing up in Broomfield to moving in to the neighborhood Cory's first Denver apartment sits.They talk about What makes Denver so charming, how to avoid bad craiglist roommates and they discuss Mark Lee, the hilarious comedy ghost that wafted through Kearney Nebraska once when Cory lived there and only appears when Charpie sells bits of his soul to the devil. So thanks Charpie, for giving bits of your sould for all of us. Denformation from Chris Charpentier himself off of The Fine Gentlemen's Club live album they recorded at Comedy Works. Enjoy the discussion, go to the Deer Pile Wednesdays at 10:30, Subscribe and rate on itunes, please.
Bill and Charpie break down the season 1 finale of FX’s Fargo. Both are pleased with the results and want to leave a bit with the listeners to continue to think about. Bill notes that Noah Hawley says not everything always fits neatly into a box and the show finale is the same. The guys
Bill and Charpie fire up the oven for their final Hotdish of Fargo Season 1. Episode 10 "Morton's Fork" wraps up as much as it can in this 90 minute episode. The guys start off getting all sad about the end of the show and talk about a few questions they will have in the full recap the next day. Both guys give the episode a thumbs up. To avoid setting up any spoilers for future watchers/listeners we'll leave it here. Listen and enjoy.
Carmela and Mia from the FXFargo Tumblr blog join Bill and Charpie again this week. FX's Fargo Episode 9 "A Fox, A Rabbit, and A Cabbage" is really lining up the forthcoming end of season one. Lorne has skills beyond killing and hunting, Lester move from D-bag to a totally deplorable person, and we speculate on how things could wrap up with a smattering of theories behind the story. Lou's attempts to serve cherry pie and Lorne is still as evil and slippery as ever. Ding dong...Hey Lester...you are evil.
Episode 9 "A Fox, A Rabbit, and A Cabbage" is on Bill and Charpie's mind. As things are winding down for this season, Bill is putting on his sad face in prep for the end of Hotdishes and FX's Fargo Season 1. Chapie's search for a new dentist has ended and Bill has a plan he hopes Wrench can come back and fulfill. Everyone can agree Lester is way to cocky.
Bill and Charpie break down Episode 8 The Heap in this episode of Fargo Talks Fargo. Lester has some "out with the old in with the new" in this episode, Molly makes a case with Bill again, Budge and Pepper find new circumstances, Ida and Molly chat, and other plot points. Then Noah Hawley chucks in a bit of an unexpected curveball that shifts the story. Charpie rocks a rant about red sauce and midwest white sauce for tacos. We talk about sorites paradox as well as Detective Kitty O'Day. Through it all, Bill is convinced of the soft heart of Bill Oswalt. Files are grains of sand in The Heap or are they characters in the show?
Bill and Charpie go it alone in this breakdown. The opening of this show was a fantastic play of acting, editing, and music. Lester's plan masterfully goes off without a hitch since Molly isn't there to ask questions. Gus has a new mission to get Molly a spleen, but only seems to find guilt and flowers. Mr. Wrench and Molly chat as much as they can and Lester is ready to get back to work (or to work it). Lorne racks up some travel miles. DLH - RNH -FAR. I hope he got double miles for these trips. Gina and Lester are reunited. Molly seems to be losing it all. So much for "We're gonna win this one, Gus Grimly".
FX's Fargo is moving towards it's end this week in Episode 7 - "Who Shaves the Barber". Bill and Charpie agree that the opening of this episode is fantastic. We get a quick explanation of the fish from the sky, Lester's master plan is working out (so far), Molly is pretty damn forgiving of Gus, Lorne is evil, and Gina Hess rocks Lester. Enough said.
On the Hotdish we rejoin Chumpf in his Turkish closet and his last time using the Darth Vader line. Charpie thinks the mob/crime boss stereotype is a bit overdone. We finally get to see the evident glow of Storm Watch 2006 that has been building and a shootout at the Duluth OK Corral. A Minnesota Fish-Fry could happen, but not how you think. Lester continues to be a "bad boy". We can't wait to do our full episode recap tomorrow night. Stay tuned in folks. Thanks to show sponsors: Fargo Brewing Company TAG
Joe Riley, from GrillingAddiction.com, joins us again to talk about Episode 5 of Fargo from FX. We chat about "flashbacks" and the proper terms for use and if we like it. Bill wrangles Charpie and Joe from their glorious reunion from Fargo Talks Fargo Preshow 1. The Six Ungraspables is a big turn for the show lining up moving pieces as the show moves towards the wrap. Things are heating up for Molly Solverson, Gus Grimly has a chat about a really depressing "parable", Lorne Malvo is still a mystery and a very smooth character, but a total evil person (like Chris Brown). Holy smokes more parables and a crazy idea about them from CityPages columnist, Tatiana Craine.
FX's Fargo rocks another flashback. Charpie and Bill are still coming down off the crazy conspiracy show from last week. We find that religious symbolism and related topics are still running through the show. Advice of the week is to avoid using Chaz's phone. Overall the story continues weaving the (Charlotte's) web.
Greg Carlson joins the Fargo Talks Fargo show this week to talk about Episode 1 of Fargo. The panel dives into the episode title and waxes intellectual about what it all means. We break down scenes and discuss what is up with the deer in the trunk. Bits of Fargo (the movie) are spotted throughout the episode. Charpie loves the sound of ham being rubbed and questions if Rachel Ray would really give that kind of advice. In the end, we ask the great question about who will die next.
Mustachioed fine gentleman Chris Charpentier stops by the dining room table to talk drugs, sports, and why it's not ever worth it to try during an improv class until you actually get to perform in front of an audience. Give this episode a listen and learn all about what makes Charpie tick. Sponsored by the one and only TRVE Brewing Company. Rock.
This week Charpie is streaming in from San Francisco while Joe and Bill hold down the fort. We'll be talking about Fathers' Day gift ideas for you last minute shoppers!The post 004 – Grilling Accessories for Dad appeared first on Grilling Addiction.
One week after episode one comes the deuce! Debunking pork myths is what's grillin' this week. Plus, Charpie gets hopped up and drops way too many f-bombs in his rant against chicken.The post 002 – Pork Myths and Charpie’s Hatred for Chicken appeared first on Grilling Addiction.
